Yes I am using Styles 'n Scripts, and yes, I did notice most of this was fixed in 0.6.5, but IIRC, there were two problems I had to address for the relative link issue.
First, with the old-fashioned script and style linking, each had to be set explicitly in the <link> tag. That is, I had to do <link href="/radiantroot/..."> instead of just href="...". That wasn't a big deal, because it was in layouts which I only had to think about once (but then would have had to remind myself to change before deploying and moving to the url root). I'd hardly call this an issue with radiant. It's just how the html is supposed to work, right? Second, the problem was a general gotcha with extensions. Any extension based on a path relative to / wouldn't work. This included styles-n-scripts, mailer, and, I think calendar. I dug around for a definition of a variable that would fix that, but didn't have much luck, so decided to just go with the .htaccess hack. It works well enough for testing, and I definitely 'get' the whole thing about radiant not being defined for sub-urls. It might be interesting to see how well the root url variable definition would work, but it looks like some of the extensions just assume it's "/" and hard-code that way (based on my shaky RoR reading), so that could limit the mileage a bit. By the way, great work on both Radiant and the SnS extension. Thank you. --danny Chris Parrish wrote: > Danny, > > Are you using my new Styles 'n Scripts extension.
